Last updated: February 2022

These terms of use (“Terms of Use”) govern the use of the website www.blade.com (“Site”) and the Blade mobile application (the “App”, together with the Site, our “Services”) in the European Economic area and Monaco.

The Services are owned and/or controlled by or on behalf of Blade Urban Air Mobility, Inc., incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware and having its registered office at 55 Hudson Yards, 14th Floor, New York, New York 10001 (“Blade”, “we”, “us” or “our”).

The purpose of the Services is to provide the Services’ visitors (“User” or “you”) with information regarding the activities of Blade, including access to a set of elements making up the Services, in particular data, graphics, sound, artwork, computer code, texts, logos, images, videos, icons, databases, and software and/or sounds (“Content”).

By installing or otherwise accessing or using the Services, User agrees that he/she has read, understands, accepts and agrees to be bound by and act in accordance with these Terms of Use.

These Terms of Use cover your use of the Services. For other Blade services, you may be required to accept additional terms which apply to those services. If you use Blade intermediate travel services, including account registration, flight reservation and payment, please note that separate Terms of Services (available here: https://www.blade.com/europe-terms-of-service) will apply. We recommend that you take the time to read them as they include important terms which may apply to you.

1. Access and availability

The Services are normally accessible at any time, except in cases of force majeure or technical incident. Blade may also interrupt the access to the Services or to all or part of the Content for maintenance purposes. The User acknowledges and agrees that Blade should not be held responsible for any consequences that may result from such interruptions.

Blade also reserves the right to restrict User’s access to all or any component of the Services, refuse Services, or remove or edit Content of the Services, at any time and without advance notice or liability.

Blade strives to publish information and Content on the Services that are as accurate as possible. Blade cannot, however, guarantee the accuracy and completeness of all this information which is provided on an indicative basis only. The information, software, products and services on the Services may therefore include inaccuracies or typographical errors, any of which Blade reserves the right to correct even post-confirmation without liability. The User acknowledges and agrees that Blade should not be held responsible for any consequences that may result from misused and/or inaccurate or incomplete information.

The User undertakes to take all appropriate measures to protect and ensure the security of his/her data and IT equipment when accessing and using the Services, notably by using a recent device, free of viruses, with an up-to-date browser.

2. Third-party websites – Hyperlinks

The Services may contain links to third-party websites, tools or services. Blade does not have the ability to control or modify the content of these third-party resources and, therefore, should not be held responsible for them, in particular for the content, advertising, products, services or any other information available from these websites.

3. Intellectual property

The Services and the Content are the exclusive property of Blade or are subject to a license granted to Blade by the relevant owners.

Such right is granted to the User exclusively in the country from which the User accesses the Services and the Content and only during the period of availability of the Content on the Services and/or availability of the Services, as determined by Blade at its sole discretion.

User may not reproduce, duplicate, represent, modify, copy, distribute, display, sell, transfer, publish, create derivative works from or otherwise exploit for any purpose the Content, software, products, or services or data found on the Services, except with the prior written consent of Blade. Any unauthorized use of the Services or Content may constitute an infringement incurring the liability of the offender.

4. User’s responsibility

The User accesses and uses the Services and the Content at his/her sole responsibility and at his/her own risk.

The User undertakes not to:

• access, monitor or copy any Content or information on the Services using any robot, spider, scraper or other automated means or any manual process for any purpose without Blade’s express written permission;

The User also undertakes not to use these Services for any purpose that is unlawful and/or prohibited by these Terms of Use or public order. In that respect, Blade reserves the right to delete, without prior notice, any content added to the Services which breaches these rules and, if necessary, to claim against the User, in particular in case of messages or comments of a racist, insulting, defamatory or pornographic nature, whatever the medium used (text, photographs, etc.), or in case of a privacy violation or personal data breach.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Blade makes no warranty or representation of any kind, express or implied, regarding the Services and/or any Content, data, software, materials, information, products, services and/or operation of the Services, all of which are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis.

6. Changes to these Terms of Use

The Services are owned and operated by Blade, and therefore, at any time and in Blade’s sole discretion, Blade may revise these Terms of Use, effective upon posting and adequate notification to User as appropriate. Continued use of the Services after adequate notice of such revisions constitutes User’s acceptance of such revised Terms of Use.
